Time for Some Duffel Action

Osprey is a company that does bags well, we’ve covered camping bags, backpacks and even baby carriers. Quite frankly I’m surprised it doesn’t do bum bags. Now Osprey have announced a new version of the Duffel bag, the “Transporter” duffel series is here and there’s a size and colour to suit you.

Now a duffel bag may well be a big, soft almost sleeping bag looking thing, but Osprey has worked some magic. The Transporter series is designed to be rugged while providing a convenient carry-all solution to suit all occasions. Ranging from 40 to 130-litres you can easily stow as much as you want when headed to the beach, mountain or even the gym. The ultra-durable construction can carry just about any load.

The material is dual-sided TPU coating inside and out. That’s the kind of stuff keyboard protectors and even car dashboards are made from. There’s a stiffened main body fabric with strong protective accent ribs. Wet weather is kept at bay via the use of overlapping zipper flaps and the already protective outer layer.
